Thoughts on Futurama Comics #59 - How to Secede Without Really Trying - SPOILERS

[on:]

[-mArc-] said we should try this out to see if it works or not, so here we go.

I'm no Nostradamus, but I see a merge in your future...I don't think enough people read the comics, quite honestly. And the current thread is only on Page 9 and was created on 7-28-09. You can try it out but just don't be surprised by the results...

Well I asked him months back, he said try it out and if it doesn't work out abandon the idea.

[Reply #3 on:]

In hindsight it did seem like a good idea but as Randi said not much people read the comics.

Danny you do not need to explain yourself. I saw the exact post back then that you are talking about. Sometimes you just gotta use your best judgment with these things - given the thread date and page number of the current thread, I myself would rationalize that it probably wouldn't do well.

When creating threads I ask myself, is this thread unique enough that I could possibly see it hitting the 20 page mark in the forseeable future, or ever? If the answer is no, I typically don't do it. But who knows. Maybe you'll get fifty Captain Sweatpants from the comic store to sign up and vote

I haven't read the comic yet, so I can't properly respond...I must say in general though, after I read the comics I don't get an urge to talk about it, unless something was pointed out to me like a Kazaleh drawing or canon inconsistency. Nerd.

Also I'd like to point out you started the thread without giving us your thoughts. Rookie mistake! (Before you say it, yes I know they do that with the episodes in General, but typically those threads are started before the episode airs).

This issue isn't out in the UK yet.

And okay, but it's better if you try something then not do it at all.

I wish there was a comic store nearby my village/town...

I thought the ending to this issue was quite strange... and disturbed me.

[Reply #7 on:]

the comics aren't really that good a deal, there is a site i saw subscription for a year is about £18.99, and they said it was only 4 issues

[Reply #8 on:]

That's really 8 issues as there's 2 comics in 1 magazine.

Bumpety bump bump bump.

I quite liked it. I loved the "We really should start checking that before we get outside" line. As Edna Krabappel (R.I.P.) would say - HA!

[Reply #10 on:]

Didn't really like this one too much.  It was just a spoof of Angry Birds.  Issue #60, now THAT was an awesome issue!

[Reply #11 on:]

Did Futurama comics seriously do an Angry Birds spoof?  I seriously can't picture that.  At all.

[Reply #12 on:]

Yes, but then they ruined it by having the Professor flat out say something like "I've had it with these angry birds!" Really, guys?

[Reply #13 on:]

Any word on when issue #70 will be out?
